The Kennedy assignations (JFK '63 and Bobby in '68) caused the gun control act of 1968

Before that you could buy most anything out of the back of a magazine

I remember one dealer that sold Thompsons that were "deactivated" by the barrel being permanently plugged then just below that he ran an ad for Thompson barrels NOS

I always wondered how good those bicycle handle bar mounted BB machine guns advertised in Boys Life worked

and Charlie. Speaking of dynamite - every year in school we had a presentation - not for "stranger danger" but to show us the newest style basting cap and to tell us if we found one on the ground -not to touch it and to tell an adult


Not sure my wife believed me until this past weekend -antiquing in the southern tier I saw one of those safety displays in an antique shop we were in. Should have bought it
